• Are Genetically Modified Salmon Headed to the Supermarket?The FDA is poised to decide whether biotech animals should be sold as food. A genetically engineered strain of Atlantic salmon that's designed to grow twice as fast as its unaltered cousins may soon be eligible for dinner. After a decade of debate, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration this month will review an application to market fish created by AquaBounty Technologies, a company headquartered in Waltham, MA. If approved, the salmon would become the first "transgenic" animal--one that has DNA from another animal--in the world to be sold for human consumption.
• A Cheaper, Safer Way to Move Natural GasA new transport method involving ice crystals could make it practical to get natural gas from remote areas, with no worries about explosions. Storing and shipping natural gas by trapping it in ice--using technology being developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy--could cut shipping costs for the fuel, making it easier for countries to buy natural gas from many different sources, and eventually leading to more stable supplies worldwide.
• Web Service Goes Date a-MiningMuch like Netflix can suggest movies, an Internet recommendation engine called Wings points you toward dating prospects. A computer might be able to discern your tastes in romance even better than you can.
• Blog - Metamaterial Discovery The Combinatorial Way British engineers perfect a way to characterise the properties of new photonic metamaterials using the brute force methods of combinatorial chemistry The ability to make and test thousands of different but structurally related molecules has had a huge impact on the pharmaceutical industry. These days, it's not uncommon for a company to make (or simulate) tens of thousands of similar molecules in an attempt to identify one in which the required biochemical activity is optimised. This brute force method, called combinatorial chemistry, is also used to identify new catalysts, light emitting materials and electronic devices.
• Blog - Physicists Build A Memory That Stores EntanglementThe first quantum memory that stores and releases entanglement has been built by researchers in Switzerland.
